How did that work? The dial was analog left right and a button.
The thrust on asteroids was digital- on or off forward, left, right and back on the joystick was hyperspace jump.
You couldn't move or hyper jump if you used the dial.
I don't think Asteroids was a paddle game at all.
It wasn't but you could sort of play some joystick games with the paddle.
